– Preheat the oven at 425 degrees F. – Place sliced potatoes a lined sheet pan with parchment paper, toss with 1-2 tbsp of olive oil with the cumin, kosher salt, garlic powder and paprika.
– Roast for 11 minutes. Flip them over with a spatula and then return the pan to the oven for an additional 11-12 minutes. – Remove carefully when done and set it aside.
– Preheat a large pan on medium-low heat, add 1 tbsp of olive oil. – Add the chopped onion and peppers. Cook for about 3 minutes and add 1 tablespoon of the taco seasoning. Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes or until the onion start to sweat.
– Add the shaved beef. Separate and cook for the beef for 5 min. Add remaining taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Continue to cook for an additional 7-10 min. Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro.
– Spread the beef on top of the roasted potatoes and serve with your favorite garnishes. – Enjoy this as an appetizer or as a main dish.
For best results, follow these tricks for making baked fries at home. – Place the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Make sure not to over crowd the sheet pan because this will cause the potatoes to steam and not roast. – I recommend baking the fries in batches. This increases your cooking time but it results in crispy fries and not soggy ones.
